WHAT NITISINONE MDK IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nitisinone MDK contains the active
substance
nitisinone. This medicine is used for treatment of a
rare disease called hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 in adults,
adolescents and children (in any age range).
In this disease your body is unable to completely break down the amino
acid tyrosine (amino acids are
building blocks of our proteins), forming harmful substances. These
substances are accumulated in
your body. Nitisinone MDK blocks the breakdown of tyrosine and the
harmful substances are not
formed.
You must follow a special diet while you are taking this medicine,
because tyrosine will remain in
your body. This special diet is based on low tyrosine and
phenylalanine (another amino acid) content.
